Such employees are required to follow procedures, conduct themselves in a professional manner, and possess the desire to further develop their careers within this field.

Our Equal Employment Opportunity & Discrimination Policy

As an equal opportunity employer, we make all of our employment decisions based on personal merit and qualifications, as well as performance potential and overall competence. In order to comply with laws that ensure equal employment opportunities for qualified individuals who have a disability, we will make any reasonable accommodations necessary for known physical or mental limitations belonging to an otherwise qualified individual (unless undue hardship would occur). In an effort to hire the best employees available, our company policy prohibits the unlawful discrimination of applicants based on the following factors:

Any Other Consideration Made Unlawful by Federal, State, or Local Laws

Additional Information Regarding Employee Accommodations

Applicants or employees who require accommodations to perform their essential work functions should contact our Executive Director to request permission for such an accommodation. Individuals with disabilities need to specify the accommodations necessary to perform their job. We will then begin an interactive process involving the employee or applicant in order to determine which accommodations can be provided. This will be followed by an investigation that identifies any barriers that would potentially prohibit the applicant or employee from having an equal opportunity to properly perform his or her job. We will then identify potential accommodations for eliminating the limitation and make the accommodation if we determine that it is reasonable and will not impose an undue hardship.

In the event that you consider yourself to have been subjected to any type of unlawful discrimination, please provide a written complaint to your immediate supervisor as quickly as possible. If your complaint is related to your supervisor, then you should provide the complaint to your Executive Director. The complaint should be as specific as possible and include the names of all individuals and witnesses involved. We will immediately conduct a thorough and objective investigation in order to resolve the situation. If we determine that any unlawful discrimination has occurred, then we will take remedial actions that are proportionate to the severity of the offense committed. We will also take appropriate action to deter any incidences of future discrimination. All actions that we take will be made known to you, and we will remedy any losses that you have suffered from the discrimination. We will not retaliate against anyone who files a complaint, and will not willingly allow any retaliation by members of management, employees, or coworkers.

Our Drug & Alcohol Testing Policy

We are dedicated to ensuring that our working environment is free of substance abuse, so we provide pre-employment drug tests that require job applicants to take and submit a drug and/or alcohol test before we offer conditional employment and before work begins. Drug tests will be performed during the initial pre-employment physical examination. Refusing to receive this test will result in the revoking of the conditional employment offer. In the event that we have reasonable suspicion and there is cause to believe that an employee is violating our drug and alcohol policy, we will perform a “reasonable suspicion” drug and alcohol test. Employees who are involved in serious accidents while on duty may be asked to take a post-accident drug and/or alcohol test if we have reasonable suspicion to believe that they were under the influences of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident.

We also perform random drug and alcohol testing programs for the safety of our employees and clients. Employees will be selected for random testing throughout the year from a list of those who are eligible for selection. Alcohol tests may also be performed on the basis of pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, or random testing. Some employees receive unannounced alcohol tests in accordance with return-to-work agreements, as well. Employees or applicants who refuse to participate in testing, attempt to dilute, alter, or substitute test samples, or otherwise engage in behavior that may potentially obstruct, delay, or invalidate the process of testing will be considered insubordinate and dealt with accordingly.
